debarkations
Leaving the vessel
Debarkations is the plural of debarkation, the act of leaving a ship or aircraft.
The word appears most often in travel contexts—cruise ships, military transports, commercial flights: Debarkations will begin at 8 a.m. on the port side.
Embarkation is the opposite, referring to boarding.
